Just getting a vague idea about how much posters think mods should get involved with moving and deleting stuff.
This isn't really a scientific way of finding out how we will mod, just a way to roughly gauge the feeling for mod involvement.
Obviously this is more complex than can be reflected in a poll, so feel free to comment below.
NB. this isn't a vote for the political system you favour, just the modding.

Why mention Corbyn if it's not political ? Just asking. I was trying to think of five different amusing titles for the five levels of authoritarian-ness in my poll. Istm pretty natural that Corbyn was a good fit for somewhere vaguely between Stalinist and the Third Way (which is a reference to Blairism). It's a rough analogy that shouldn't be taken literally. Eg the Orange mobile phone deals back in the day, you had stuff like Dolphins, Raccoons and Panthers. That didn't mean that you literally had to be a dolphin, to buy the Dolphin deal. |

Alright smart-arse. I'd had dorsal-plasty before I found that out. |

Bans/lockdowns for obvious line over-stepping and serious personal insults but if this forum is to work it needs to be as free as possible: if you don't like a comment, disagree with it or ignore it and move on. PS - also need a ban for anyone using "istm" as that's quoting from Candle in the Wind and we know that's not allowed |

Do you mean physically be a dolphin or are you talking about dolphins caught in the net ? You really have left a lot of words to play with in that lot, Raccoons and Panthers, what fun we could have. |

Personally I really don't think inflammatory political remarks should feature here one way or the other. I dont think it adds value and it winds people up, myself included. When you have a thread begin to de-rail and take a tangent it adds to the flow and fun of a forum but there's a limit to that and I don't know why mentioning black activists groups and the KKK is included in that tolerance. It's not a pedastool for saying whatever you please in the name of free speech not is it a forum for demonstration of rights, it's a football forum. It's all about context. You can take a crap wherever you want but by and large most try and do so in the bathroom having removed their trousers. It may be your right to say what you think but it's also a priveledge to use the forum and rules are there for a reason and are a shared acceptance of what should be a community platform.
I use another forum and one of the rules there is no 1 line posts. It stops some of the bickering and nastiness. I think light hearted fun is a good thing to have and something gaschat does well but I think people are way too aggressive sometimes and it's just let go by the mods because with respect, you're reluctant to intervene. I assume because of 'free speech' and the risk of being accused of 'censorship' which are terms that are thrown around by disgruntled forumers whenever you have tried in the past. Eventually the lunatics run the asylum.
The mods aren't respected enough here and as a result, nor are the rules and I think that's possibly a result of the hands off approach normally adopted. I'm sympathetic to that but as with everything there are often two polarities and some happy medium between them. I'm not falling in to the Stalinist category either. My view is that there should be more moderation here but of course in moderation.
It's not a dig at mods, just my feedback should you wish to read it and I wouldn't have offered it had you not asked.
